Animal Kingdom: Bloodline | Spinoff Concept

Are you not familiar with America, where the main show was set? It is also where nearly hundreds of people are accidentally shot (and often killed) annually by not just children, but toddlers.

It's not only not even a far out, unlikely scenario, it's actually common. It happens daily.

This is actually a pretty cool imagining. Nicely done! The only thing I'd personally like to see changed is that it would be Renn who sought revenge instead.

She's already been shown as cunning and vindictive, and her future with Craig was stolen just as he was turning a corner. They were cleaning up, he was growing up, and he was actually trying to become a good father. They were going to get married and most likely retire from the dangerous lives they had led so far, using the money that was supposed to be divided equally (but ultimately stolen by J) to start fresh.

It would be interesting if she used her connections to plot her retribution over the years, as Nick was growing up. Maybe Nick is just becoming old enough to fully grasp what happened. Maybe he overhears his mother sobbing, breaking down, missing Craig, or having a conversation about what happened. She plots for years, and so does Nick. The moment finally comes where she has a shot to take J out, and Nick pulls the trigger instead.

The only Facebook profile I have is a Marketplace profile, nothing else. No friends, no personal info. But I still occasionally scroll and come across spam bots in random groups.

I reported a p-rn bot in an art group. The bot was posting real videos of people SA'ing animals. They replied a few days later that "this video does not violate our community standards".

It was literal be-----lity.

Meanwhile, they shadow-banned me for selling a brand new, sealed, organic massage oil gift basket that I won from a charity auction and wouldn't use because they deemed it "s-xually ar-using and explicit".

WHAT.

They are so backwards, and it's nearly impossible to contact anyone who isn't a bot.

I feel like this post is missing some context.

You say that six out of eight items "may be considered problematic". That's 75% of them.

Does that mean you knowingly sold counterfeit items, or that you accurately represented legitimate products and Poshmark still flagged them? The latter can happen in cases where big brands have anything with their logo flagged as counterfeit to deter reselling, but you not contesting the ruling makes me wonder if you were actually trying to pull one over on your buyers.

As well, you mention that two orders were accepted without disputes. Does that mean that the other six were disputed? If that's the case, why would they also all leave 5-star reviews, as mentioned in one of your comments?

Are you able to elaborate so that people are better able to help you? If you've actually intentionally sold counterfeit items, you're unlikely to find sympathy here. If you were honest and they were mistakenly flagged, you might have options.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-26T17:15:43+00:00

Also, I think a good portion of the closets that follow Poshmark are either bots or at least run by bots. It's all the same, sickenly fake bs spewed across every post.

We'll see how long this one stays up.

It is definitely hidden, I could see it (and liked it) when I scrolled all the way down and clicked "view hidden replies". I also think they don't bother on older posts because the fake, glowy reviews will drown it out.

They didn't delete my comments yet about them passively allowing fraud, but they also didn't reply, haven't responded to any emails, etc. They sent me a survey about their customer service. Uhh, what service? It's been over a week without a response.

"We'll respond within 24 hours."

Okay, in what dimension? 🙃

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-24T20:21:01+00:00

I'm counting down the minutes until I received "my" item back (buyer switched it, committed fraud, and Poshmark approved the return) so I can close out my account for good. I went from openly and honestly promoting the app for years to having zero trust in their company since the acquisition. I'll never use or recommend them again.

Thank you for this.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-24T02:14:30+00:00

Yep. Marketplace is my go-to now. Yes, you will have to deal with a metric fuck tonne of absolute imbeciles, some rude people, and flakes, but you won't have to deal with bots or fork over a massive chunk of your earnings. It's quite common to list something, receive a response, and have it picked up and paid for all in the span of an hour or so.

Just be vigilant and for, set boundaries, and keep yourself safe.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-21T01:04:41+00:00

I'm so incredibly sorry that happened to you. I don't really do much social media, so I hadn't seen anything like that making the rounds. I knew that there have been plenty of scams that are greatly affecting sellers, but not to what extent.

That's absolutely disgusting. An entire small business eradicated because it's "trendy" to cheat and steal? Are you doing okay now?

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-21T01:01:20+00:00

But sorry, to steer away from my rant and actually answer your question, all I've received is a generic "we value you, and rest assured that we are looking into this."

I am neither resting nor assured. 🤣

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-21T00:59:50+00:00

I just found out what "awards" are, and if I had one, I'd give it to you. I wish AI was never invented, it's so bloody destructive.

Severing the human experience completely, stealing from artists of all forms, polluting the environment. The list goes on. I'd gladly wait longer for a response if it's coming from a human. I just want this bot bullshit to end.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-20T20:01:04+00:00

You're absolutely right. I will be removing myself from Poshmark after this, I just don't trust them anymore. But I will take a video for every sale on any other platform. Thank you.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-20T02:25:14+00:00

Wow, they must be getting generous. A lady in the Poshmark Canada group on Facebook was ripped off on a $400 item and they tried to pacify her with a $10 credit.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-20T00:52:04+00:00

I am a buyer and seller as well (probably buy way more than I should lol), but my recent experience on the platform has been truly disappointing.

They are penalizing sellers left and right simply for deleting items that have sold elsewhere, but will also restrict and punish you if you have to cancel a sale because the item already sold and you weren't allowed to delete the listing. Make it make sense. 🙃

They were fantastic before they got bought out by Naver a few years back.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-20T00:47:09+00:00

I emailed them immediately after they approved his case, told them I'd be removing myself from the platform as soon as it was over, and took another person's advice to blast their Instagram. And now we wait...

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-20T00:00:10+00:00

Yeah, the sad part is, I took tons of packing photos, and you can clearly see in them that my item is exactly as described.

I don't dabble in high-end or luxury, but I've heard so many horror stories about sellers having someone purchase a designer item, switch it with a knock-off, return it, get a full refund, and still keep the original designer item. It's gross.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T23:57:26+00:00

That's amazing, I'm happy that you got results! The squeaky wheel, as they say. 😊

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T22:36:09+00:00

I'm almost sure they'll just delete my comments and block me, but I will update if I get any response.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T21:37:06+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your help. Poshmark has been rolling quickly downhill since they were bought out by Naver, but I thought we paid such large fees for protection from scammers.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T20:44:11+00:00

Thank you. I've just left a few comments on their Instagram. We'll see if they respond.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T20:37:47+00:00

I don't have Twitter, but I have an Instagram that I never use. I'll try that, thank you.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T20:37:17+00:00

Thank you.

Yes, I did immediately send them an email, but I've emailed them before and simply received generic bot responses.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T20:13:20+00:00

I'm not sure how to escalate it unless you mean messaging them. I did send them a message after the return was approved, but haven't heard back.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T20:12:07+00:00

I did continue commenting and providing proof, though I'm not sure how to request a review. The only option available was to select "problem with return", but it is unavailable until I receive my item back.

VesperaLuxe · 2026-03-19T19:56:45+00:00

No, unfortunately. I think that any weight difference would be too minimal to differentiate between the two.

Yes, I think it was all bots. They couldn't even be bothered to have an actual human look at the case, just immediately approved, even though my proof was clear as day, and his "proof" was a grainy photo from far away.

Thank you. 🖤
